WHETHER they make you roar with laughter or groan we all love a Christmas cracker joke and now Tesco can reveal Britain’s most and least favourite.

Tesco seasonal goods buyer Samantha Bryant said: “Noone can resist telling a joke at Christmas and while some people groan jokes are a key part of the enjoyment of Christmas dinner. Tesco is selling a wider range of crackers than ever this Christmas with plenty of affordable choices for those on a budget.”
